#ActuallyAutistic

Kit AuthorI've been using Todoist for my to do list, but am thinking about switching to a kanban board (Wekan for self-hosting) so I can group my daily tasks, my once a week tasks, and my other tasks into various columns and perhaps not have one huge overwhelming list.Does anyone else use Kanban boards for to do lists?<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Kanban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kanban</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ToDo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ToDo</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/PersonalOrganizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PersonalOrganizing</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a>

AaronPlanned social interactions really give me a lot of anxiety. Like, anything where some sort of response is *expected* of me. It happens for any medium, too, but phone and video calls are the worst.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyadhd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@actuallyadhd</a>

AudhdDespiteNoisyAbleism 🇨🇦I saw by by accident the Time cover special edition about autism in a shop, didn’t have time to skim it. Did anyone read it? I’m hoping that they *gave US the opportunity to talk about what it is autism, and not only experts or parents…<a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#autism</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachI encourage you to create systems for easy food and water access because your body needs to have its needs met in order for your brain to be able to think and do the things that you’re doing.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Autistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Neurodiversity</a>

Tuomo HPart of academic work is writing and reading letters to peer reviewers. In these, the authors give detailed point by point answers to comments on the previous version of the manuscript. There are several strategies in writing the responses but in principle, the answers can be short or verbose. I personally write short answers that go to the point. I don't know if it's my neurodiversity or what, but it feels phony when I read a letter where every single detailed piece of answer (even to a spotted typo) starts with the variation of "we thank the reviewer for this good comment". If anything, it feels sarcastic to me. I thank the reviewers in the beginning, and maybe again if there's a really (and I mean really) helpful comment.<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a>

Moriel :transgender_flag:i'm reading about executive dysfunction tonight, but i'm having trouble wrapping my head around just how it actually affects people. The Wikipedia article is really dry and technical and didn't really help me, though it did say that executive dysfunction can manifest in bipolar people, especially during the manic phase, and that kind of strikes a chord with me. I found another site that lists examples of how it can affect people and all the examples really do fit me, but at the same time they seem like things that could apply to anyone, really. (Maybe i'm being biased here and just assuming everyone else is the same as me? i don't know.)So i'm curious: if you have executive dysfunction, how does it manifest in your life?<a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/ExecutiveDysfunction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExecutiveDysfunction</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/Bipolar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bipolar</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Autism</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a>

Libre :neurodiversity:It's painful sometimes to come to the realization that I am actually disabled in conversations because there is this expectation of being able to construct a completed thought in an efficient manner while keeping it concise and being able to put it forth to the other people all while weathering a massive sensory input between body language, mood, and other words being said. For a time I didn't want to even talk to other people, preferring communication over the internet because at least at that point I could draft my response and revise it until it was what I was looking to say. I don't have that luxury in real life. Everything is moving at warp speed, and I can't keep up. Mistakes get made, and I blunder my words.I feel like sometimes I'm slipping back into that a little bit. I don't want to lose my confidence, but verbal communication is such a colossal pain in the ass. I'm really tired.<a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a>

masukomiI posted that because i was sadly reminded about how my 😿 my <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> 🧠 has _never_ been able to grasp french kissing. I just absolutely _can not_ figure out what the hell I'm supposed to be doing with my tongue, or what aspect of this is supposed to feel good to me, or her.Wifey has - sadly - confirmed that I absolutely suck at it.To all the lovely people I've kissed: 🙇‍♀️ sorry. I tried.

Tim McTufftyDiary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 661 , Tuesday 19/08/2025Tuesday started around 06:30 in the very AM so I read for a while until 7ish & then got up at the more respectable hour! Made breakfast & caught up on here then after my coffee I started to tackle the garage.I decided that I would give the garage a bit of a tidy up prior to the engineer coming, this took all morning but it does look better for it.I’ve thrown away boxes & a load of old ice cream tubs (handy for decorating / small cleaning job) as I had far too many! I may need some therapy sessions to help me with coping with the loss! 😜😂 Washing machine guy - Steve- came just after 1pm & it took him about 15 minutes to diagnose a split feed pipe - I knew I should have checked the top 🙄🤦‍♂️. Hey ho he’s ordered the part & reckons to have it by Friday so hopefully we’ll have the washing machine back up & running by the weekend! He’s charging us just under £100 so not too bad I guess. Next time I’ll remember to check the top of the machine! Spent the rest of the afternoon in Night City, de-stressing.A naughty treat of chicken skewers, baked beans & chunky chips for tea!Final Thoughts.Part of me is really bummed that I did not check the top of the washer, I had a vague suspicion that the leak was not where I thought it was but I was evidence biased obviously. Still it will hopefully be a lesson for future faults. I swear I’d have caught this fault a decade ago, I’m losing my touch! Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖 <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TimsASDjourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TimsASDjourney</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Neurospicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Neurospicy</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TheMammutMoves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheMammutMoves</a>

BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:To also be very fair, i want the T shirt with the Chinese saying on it about the GPU smuggling situation. If not that, then the stickers. But I'm not a giant sticker person. I don't know where to put them. I will NOT put them on my computers. 😒Unrelated: It reminds me i miss learning mandarin. It just felt like uncharted territory considering how you have just learn at least 3,000 hanzi characters to read modern mandarin Chinese.
